That embarrassing moment when the US and Britain decided it would be a good idea to vote against the UN resolution for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
And still some people think these are the good guys.....

Here's a thought experiment they don't teach in American schools.
Imagine a foreign power, significantly stronger than the United States, decided after a disputed intelligence assessment that the American government posed a threat.
It assembled a coalition, invaded, removed the government, disbanded the military, releasing hundreds of thousands of armed men into unemployment, and installed a transitional authority composed largely of exiles who had been living in the foreign power’s country for twenty years.
It then spent the next decade conducting night raids on American homes.
It ran detention facilities where Americans were held without charge and in some cases tortured.
It operated checkpoints in American cities where American citizens were stopped, searched, and sometimes killed by foreign soldiers who did not speak English and could not distinguish a civilian from a combatant and in many cases did not particularly try.
A generation of American children grew up in this environment.
Would you describe those children's resulting hostility to the foreign power as:
(A) A rational response to their lived experience
or
(B) Evidence of a cultural pathology that requires theological and anthropological analysis?
You already know the answer.
You knew it before I finished the sentence.
The exercise is only necessary because the question is never asked the right way around.
#ShireenAbuAklek#Israel An israeli sniper shot her in the face, killing her instantly. Then the IDF stormed the hospital where her body was being carried out by pallbearers and they proceeded to beat them.
She was American/Palestinian
Zero outrage from American politicians.
GROUND WAR:
Seems like CIA coup, with the downstream objective of clearing the way to organize ground operations against Iran from Iraq.
Iraq is the only country suitable to stage ground ops against Iran... No other GCC will work. Sea-to-land invasions have 25% losses of troops in the first week, on average.
My thinking is that some kind of combined US-Kurdish-Iraqi invasion of Iran from Iraq is being prepared now to grab Iran's oil.
Iraq and Kurds will provide the main volume of troops, with US contributing 50k (already there).
MOU period is being used to arrange of all this...
For those who don’t know Shapiro is referencing a problem in 1970s NYC when Hasidic landlords engaged in mass fire insurance fraud throughout the Bronx when they didn’t get the rent growth they wanted.
Such wonderful people.
It’s been almost 30 years since the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal. At the time, the media circus focused on the tawdry details of the affair.
Looking back, she just might’ve been the most famous honeypot of all time. 🧐
Who remembers when Charlie Kirk’s security team were frantically passing things to each other just seconds after he was shot?
What was that?

Has there ever been a World Cup where a team is playing in the host country on the literal same day that the host country is bombing that team's country?
